Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by providing explicit instructions and command-line examples only for Windows (e.g., using pip on a Windows 64-bit machine with a Windows path), without mentioning or providing equivalent steps for Linux or macOS environments. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples for downloading packages with dependencies.
Recommendations
- Include Linux and macOS equivalents for all command-line instructions, such as showing how to use pip on those platforms (e.g., 'pip2.7 download -d <output dir> <package name>').
- Avoid specifying only 'Windows 64-bit machine'—instead, mention that the process can be performed on any OS with Python 2.7 and pip installed.
- Provide example commands and file paths for both Windows and Linux/macOS (e.g., C:\... vs /usr/bin/pip2.7).
- Explicitly state that the instructions are cross-platform where applicable, or call out any platform-specific limitations.
- Add screenshots or terminal output from Linux/macOS environments where relevant.
